Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 480 The guilt is beyond words

If Lu Baichuan remembered correctly, there was such wet mud next to the well in the backyard, because when water was drawn, it would splash outside.

Generally, only people who have been to wells will get this kind of mud on their shoes.

Lu Baichuan walked over and said, "Let him go."

The people from Huoyun Division made way for him. The scholar was very surprised. He thanked Lu Baichuan and hurried out.

Lu Baichuan said to one of his men: "Follow us and see what he is going to do?"

"Yes!"

Lu Baichuan walked into the courtyard and saw Leizi and the others standing next to Kang Xiucai with nothing to do, so he waved to them to come over.

Several people ran over like a gust of wind and asked excitedly: "Third uncle, is something wrong?"

"Well, do you know the scholar who just went out?"

Leizi nodded and said, "I know him. His name is Meng Zhang. I usually have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Kang."

Lu Baichuan asked again: "Does he have a servant by his side to serve him?"

"Yes, but his servant doesn't seem to be here today. I haven't seen him yet."

Lei Zi scratched his head strangely. He really didn't see Meng Zhang's boy today. Where was he?

"Come on, take me to where he lives."

Lu Baichuan walked inside with his hands behind his back, already making up his mind.

The person who poisoned him was probably Meng Zhang.

Leizi and the others were relatively simple, so they were a little embarrassed when they heard this: "Isn't this not good?"

Lu Baichuan said seriously: "What if he is the poisoner?"

"Oh no?"

Leizi's eyes widened: "Brother Meng and our husband are in the same class and live in the same courtyard. We usually have a good relationship."

"So is he on the list today?"

"Ah, it doesn't seem like..."

Leizi already understood, but he thought that before they came here to play, Meng Zhang would bring them the pastries he bought.

They still had a very good impression of Brother Meng.

Lu Baichuan was not surprised at all, and continued: "You said he has a good relationship with Mr. Kang. Such a big thing happened with Mr. Kang today. Has he ever come to care about it? Also, it's fine, his servant Why are you missing?"

Lei Zi had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and led Lu Baichuan to Meng Zhang's house.

There's nothing special about Meng Zhang's house, but the boy's room outside looks a little messy. It seems that he got up and went out in a hurry while still sleeping, and then he hasn't come back to clean the bed.

Lu Baichuan stepped forward and took a closer look. He rummaged around and found nothing special.

Leizi said: "Uncle Third, his package is gone. We have been here before, and his package was always placed on the bedside, because he said there are some things in the package that need to be taken out, and it is convenient to put them here."

When other people saw it, they nodded again and again.

Lu Baichuan called Lou Chong in and ordered: "Go and arrest people."

"Yes."

Kang Xiucai and several other people living in the yard saw it and came over to watch the fun, with disbelief on their faces.

Meng Zhang usually had a good relationship with them.But today, the first three people in the yard were successful, and only he and the other one were missed.

The other one has a rich family, but he doesn't like to study. He is forced to study by his family. He doesn't study hard at all, so he doesn't have any reaction to his failure.

Several others came from poor families and wanted to change their destiny through the imperial examination, so everyone worked hard.

Today, Meng Zhang failed to pass the exam, and everyone quietly discussed not to show too much excitement and make Meng Zhang feel uncomfortable.

But when they all drank tea and felt uncomfortable in their stomachs, Meng Zhang didn't come to say hello. He stayed in his room and hurried out just now.

What the truth is seems to be ready to come out.

Several new candidates who had passed the imperial examination stood looking at each other in disbelief. They really couldn't believe that Meng Zhang had done this. However, all the evidence that could be found now points to Meng Zhang. It seemed that there was nothing left to defend him.

Kang Xiucai also looked shocked and stood there without making a sound for a long time.

As for the government servants who came to congratulate me, they originally came to congratulate me, but they didn't expect that they would suffer disaster just after taking a sip of tea. Now they can't leave even if they want to, so they can only wait for a while to see the doctor together.

There were people from other courtyards who came to watch the fun at the door, but now they all left quietly. Sometimes, it is bad luck to eat not so good melons.

At this time, He Jiuniang came, still holding the sleeping dog in her arms.

Seeing this, Lu Baichuan hurried over to pick up his son.

He Jiuniang shook her numb hand and asked, "What's going on now?"

"It is initially determined that the person who administered the drug was Meng Zhang, who was in the same hospital. He was jealous and poisoned the water. We have sent people to arrest him. The specific reason will not be known until the interrogation."

Lu Baichuan answered, and then asked He Jiuniang: "Why are you here?"

"After reading it for the patients, I learned that there are still poisoned people here, so I came over to take a look to save so many people here from running to the hospital."

He Jiuniang sighed, this was originally a good day, but it turned out to be like this. The person who poisoned it was really vicious.

Kang Xiucai knew how busy He Jiuniang was, and when he saw that He Jiuniang still took the time to come over to help him, his guilt was beyond words.

He Jiuniang pretended not to see his remorseful expression, and said to the group of people who were poisoned: "Bring me a long table to the yard, and then line up one by one to lie down and get acupuncture."

Do you want them to lie on the table in the yard and get needles?
Everyone looked a little unhappy, but in order to detoxify, they had to do this.

Seeing this, He Jiuniang understood the awkward thoughts of these ancients and said: "The light in the yard is good, so it is not easy to make mistakes. Let's just make do with it."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you can help me, the doctor will come over and detoxify us personally!"

One scholar immediately smiled and said, and the others also said that it was okay, they could do it!

He Jiuniang nodded and asked the little medicine boy who followed to prepare everything needed.

Although the poison in them is the same, because of their different physiques and the different dosages of tea they drink, the dosage of antidote is different for each one. He Jiu Niangmei has to prescribe a prescription for each one, and brew the medicine separately. , even the acupuncture points are different, so it is very troublesome.

Just when the second person was in progress, Meng Zhang, who had run out before, was brought back.

"Let me go, why are you arresting me? Can you officials arrest people at will?"

Meng Zhang's face was filled with anger, as if he had been wronged.

But everyone has listened to Lu Baichuan's analysis and is sure that he was the one who poisoned the water. Seeing him like this, they have no sympathy at all.

"Meng Zhang, we get along pretty well on weekdays, why do you want to poison us!"

There was an impatient man who couldn't restrain himself, so he stood up and questioned Meng Zhang.
